I spent time in JovialJudi's fabulous gallery and chose this card as my inspiration CAS54 A Friend by jovialjudi at Splitcoaststampers
it's such a gorgeous card and took me out of my comfort zone - which is always a great reason to do a challenge.
I used similar colors for the background, a similar element on the top right and left hand corners and a similar image for the focal point.
I colored the bird and basket image with my markers and used the beautiful wings embosslit to create a little pink butterfly. JovialJudi had stamped and colored a butterfly, but I didn't have anything similar, so thought it was a good time to break out the embosslit :-)
I had great fun with the challenge and my thanks to JovialJudi for her fabulous inspiration. It allowed me to create a card with lots of white space and not too many layers or embellishments - so still CAS.

thanks so much for looking
